That's great! Thanks for all the info...I forgot to ask one more thing...the retract valve diagram. I've only used Spring Air retracts in the past, so this 5-way valve has me stumped. Three nipples on the left, two on the right, what goes where? AND, do I just "T" the mains together for push/pull to have only TWO lines going from the valve to the back? Maybe Yellow can add a simple diagram with the kit in the future (if buyer purchases their retract system with the jet of course, like we did). Thanks again for the above info. I haven't made it to balancing the plane yet, but it sounds like my idea of putting all the batteries in the nose is going to be too nose-heavy.

I also have a radio question: Is PCM required for turbine jets? I'll be using a JR 783 FM with a simple 6-channel receiver, since I won't be using flaps, smoke, or brakes (yet). I've talked to a few of the scale jet guys and they all say you have to use a JR 10X or the like. Is it just because of the extra channels? I've flown a diamond dust for a while with a 4-channel non-computer radio at speeds well over 150mph and it's range is fine...never had a glitch. I've also flown ducted fans (yech) with a basic FM radio with no problems. I don't see the big deal of which radio system is used on a Turbine, other than the fact that you need extra channels, because in regards to electronics, the turbine engine has significantly less vibration than a glow engine.
